Development or restoration of trust in interpersonal relationships during adolescence and beyond.
Individuals low in interpersonal trust have been found to be less confident, less popular with others, and more lonely--all indicators of a need for attitudinal and behavioral change. A student who has reached a point of sufficient discomfort to seek therapeutic assistance can be aided in increasing trust in others through specific tasks cooperatively established by the counselor or other helping professional.
